She said the city has not learned its lesson after losing two court cases and issuing a public apology after the attempted clearing of the Moccasin Flats encampment in November 2021.

“Behind closed doors you made a dangerous decision, with no plan, coordination or support,” she wrote “Neither housing agencies, outreach workers or residents were consulted. Please learn from your mistakes! Even the Minister of Housing is calling you out for your bad decision.”
